A Tribe Called Red’s Bear Witness
Genre and culture expanding electronic act A Tribe Called Red have been hard at work converting their We Are The Halluci Nation album into an actual nation of a sort.
If not a “nation” in the traditional geo-political sense, it’s certainly taking shape in the art and music world.
I spoke to band member Bear Witness about this evolution in advance of the X Avant festival this fall.

Halloween
The rebooted Halloween horror franchise is a really big deal in some (bloodthirsty) circles, so Sarah was assigned to cover the film when it showcased at TIFF this fall.
Her opinion: It’s kinda fan fiction-y, but it works.

If that’s not enough Michael Myers content, Sarah also appeared on Consequence’s themed-Halloweenies podcast to discuss the film. You can listen to that here:
